It's not the best view but I do like the light that streams in at different times of the day, so I took that into consideration when deciding what type of treatment I wanted.

I didn't want anything that was too long so I couldn't display anything on the ledge, nor did I want to cover up too much of the window and lose the natural light.

And I'm not really into or very good at patterned fabrics so I decided on a short valance with some leftover drop cloth.

After trying to give you a tutorial, I'm realizing it's not super easy without those pics.

Darn. Well I'll just do my best.

I measured the window and cut my fabric about 8" longer than the window to allow for a little "bunching". Cut your fabric extra long. That bunching takes up more fabric than you might think. I allowed about a 2.5" overhang on the back over the tension rod, and attached it with stich witchery to the back of the curtain.

It looked a little plain so I added some grosgrain ribbon and tied some little bows at the bottom.

I've been moving my Halloween decor all over the place this year.

I can't seem to get it just how I want it.

Hi Stephanie, I realize your post is a few years old, but wanted you to know that in all my searching for the perfect compliment for my one and only (and tall) kitchen window, yours nailed it! You've given me an idea now that I can use my extra linen panels for, for a simple, breezy, earthy barely-there look, thank you so much!

About Me

I'm married with one daughter and two dogs. I love decorating, creating and design. And fashion and DIY and blah, blah, blah. I live in your typical suburban neighborhood where everyones houses look the same inside and out, but hope to one day have a house with enough land to raise chickens (for eggs, not eating!!!) and a fat llama. Thanks for stopping by!
